Over at HFCS we're constantly hard...

Wait...
What?

We've all noticed that Master Chief has new armor on his hand, right? Well, I'm gonna take a wild guess at it...

I think it's a reverse enginered Jackal Shield.

In Halo: Fall of Reach it says that the spartans often used and collected Covenant Tech, and they usually had Jackal Shields. This also makes sense because if you look at the large Wallpaper you can download, it looks like he has buttons on his wrist area. I think that this was added because of the overwhelming support of it in some forums that were discussing it a while back.

(edit: Here's a Picture -- MC Armor)

Well.....
I've never seen a close-up of his wrist before in H2. But he does have new hand armor (someone else stated this earlier, I believe its in the FAQ)

They folded out of the system immediately
after I received the message, without so
much as a "Thanks for saving us from
becoming plasma on Tau Ceti, Durandal".

Most of the work for the SPARTAN's shields were already based off of the Jackal shield.

Chief's armor is the same power as the elite's armor. As you play both haloCE and Halo2, the elites recharge like chief so.... its not the jackal shield

Why would you want one little jackal sheild in front of you when you can have your whole body protected?

I doubt its a jackals sheild. I think its just an armor upgrade. if anything at all.

That little piece of armor can save you in tough situations. I mean, when was the last time you brought down a Jackals shield with just a SMG or Battlerifle without punching or moving to the side?

Also, it couldn't cover your entire body becuse it would require substantial amounts of power to keep it active. It would also limit movement because jackal shields are extremely hard.

And that the Mark V was reverse engineered Jackle Sheild
Mark VI had a modified version of it.
And it just looks like new gauntlets if anything... otherwise that armor looks like crap. And what were the gauntlets in First Strike... Modified Motion Sensors?

I dont think their was any reference to it. Besides, Chief didnt get new armor until after the end of First Strike.

This is almost as stupid as my sig, which I'm too lazy to change. What makes you think that? And you know the energy shields 117 got right now? THOSE are the reverse engineered jackal shields.

Haha, you say "Armor" as if it's not really armor.. I think you meant "New"...

I doubt your theory, but I'm no one to say it's wrong.

They were Jackal and Elite shields. For the Jackal part they were made softer so the spartan could remain highly mobile.

I just wanted to put an emphasis on the Armor part because a wrist-hand thing doest really protect you too much. It leaves your fingers open to pain. You cant shoot without fingers (what a sad day that would be! the MC just mildly wounded but no longer able to fight except with finger nubs!)
